<p>Tables are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are

    usually "floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a page.

    Tables will not be split between two pages.</p>


<p>Note that there is an *-form: <tt>\begin{table*} ... \end{table*}</tt>.

    This form will put the table in a single column when in two column mode;

    in one column mode it is identical to the non-* form.</p>


<p>The optional argument [placement] determines where LaTeX will try to

    place your table. There are four places where LaTeX can possibly put

    a float:</p>


<ul>

    <li><tt>h</tt> - Here - at the position in the text where the

        table environment appears.
    </li>

    <li><tt>t</tt> - Top - at the top of a text page.</li>

    <li><tt>b</tt> - Bottom - at the bottom of a text page.</li>

    <li><tt>p</tt> - Page of floats - on a separate float page,

        which is a page containing no text, only floats.
    </li>

</ul>


<p>The standard report and article styles use the default

    placement <tt>tbp</tt>.</p>


<p>The body of the table is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands,

    etc., you wish.</p>


<p>The <tt><a href="caption.html">\caption</a></tt> command allows you

    to title your table.</p>
